Review: Essence lipliner pencils

Lately I'm more into accenting my lips than my eyes so another lip product swatches today. I have four Essence lipliner lip pencils.

They are swatched in this order, this is a picture in artificial light, but all lip swatches are shot in natural lightning.

All of the pencils are soft and glide on nicely on the lips. They stay well but they are not drying on the lips. These are also really cheap, I think they are around 9 kn and I think they are great value for money.

First up is Satin mauve, nice mauve color which for me can almost pass as a nude look. A little bit on the cold side for me and can look a bit deadly if not paired right with the rest of the make up.

Second is Cute pink and this is nice fresh girly color which goes well with anything. I would like to have this one in lipstick form just for the convenience of application.

Third one is Red blush and it's a dark red color which I like to use as a base for Catrice Tell me a berrytale. It's also nice on it's own and looks good for bolder and special occasion make up.

And the last one is Femme fatale and it's bright red. For me this is one of the perfect neutral reds, it would look good on anyone. Did you try any of Essence lip liners. Do you have any suggestions about some other lip pencils that I should try?
